Manager Paul Grimley has hit out at “so-called fans” who want to criticise rather than support his Armagh side.

Donegal 1-10 Armagh 0-11

Influential defender Aaron Kernan is expected to play no part in Armagh's All-Ireland SFC first round qualifier against Roscommon on Sunday.

Cork football selector Ger O’Sullivan has slammed GAA chiefs following the Central Hearing Committee’s decision to strip them of home advantage for their Division 1 tie against Laois.

IF a perfect result amounts to both sides taking what they deserved from the action, then this was precisely that.

Cork forward Paul Kerrigan has been suspended for two matches following his dismissal in their Division 1 opener against Armagh.

He’s not normally the type to betray his emotions and, while Conor Counihan chose his words carefully, they could hardly mask his sense of frustration at Paul Kerrigan’s sending-off near half-time.

Conor Counihan expressed himself happy enough to be making the long journey home with a point in the bag and, while they could have left with nothing, they really should have departed with two.

MICHEAL MEEHAN returns to the Galway starting lineup for tomorrow’s All-Ireland SFC qualifier against Meath in one of five changes made by manager Tomás Ó Flatharta following the Connacht semi-final defeat to Mayo.

Former Mayo player Billy Joe Padden will make his Ulster Championship debut in tomorrow night's quarter-final clash with Down at the Morgan Athletic Grounds (throw-in 7.30pm).

CLONOULTY-Rossmore defender John O’Keeffe will make his senior intercounty hurling championship debut in Sunday’s Munster quarter-final clash against Cork after being named in Tipperary’s starting side last night.

Down 0-12 Armagh 0-11

SPARE a thought for Gerard O’Kane today.

NFL DIVISION 2:

Armagh 0-14 Monaghan 1-13

AS famous French poet once put it, history teaches us everything, including the future, and a quick recap of this pair’s recent head-to-heads is as good an indicator as any about what awaits in Clones.

Wing-back Aaron Kernan and centre-forward Brian Mallon have both been included in the Armagh team for Sunday's Ulster SFC final against Fermanagh at Clones (throw-in 2pm).

EXPERIENCE was the word on everyone’s lips as tea-time approached and Clones emptied faster than a school on the last day of summer. Armagh had it, Down didn’t. Simple as that.

Cavan 0-13 Armagh 0-17
